Princess Louise Of Lorne.

Princess Louise gave an undoubted i'm
petus to fine art in Canada when she was
there. She got to like the clear, cold
climate, the effects of snow and frost on
lake and forest, and the fast-rushing and
full-fowing rivers; but the accident she
met with when riding in a covered sledge,
by injuring her health, spoiled her capac-
ity for enjoyment, and obliged her to re-
turn to Europe to seek at European water
ing places cure for nerves that were
permanently affected. She quickly got to
feel that the Canadians were of indie
pendent character and in the democratic
current of the age, and with great affabil-
ity adapted herself to their temper.

A review of a peculiarly ferocious COM
plexion is said to be on the point of APP
pearing in Vienna. It's title, Der Fraueu-
find (Anglice, 1.-THE Enemy Of Woman'')
indicates the line it purposes taking up.
The editor, one Herr Crosse, has set before
himself the object of emancipating man
from his subsection to ''that doll, woman,
who idiots ideaiize and fools bow down
before as to a divinity" Herr Grose is
good enough, however, to notify that there
are exceptions to this denunciation, and
generally exempts whole classes of the
sex from the scope of his review. His
venture seems to be made in good earnest,
and is likely to pay its way, for of course
every Viennese lady will be only too anx-
ious to hand in her subscription.

The Poor Little Ones.

We often see children with red eruptions
often ems sores ,e On the head. These things in
dictate depraved condition of the blood.
In the growing period, children have need
of pure blood by which to build up strong
and healthy bodies. If DIR. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery is given, the blood
is purged of it's bad elements, and the
chifd's development will be healthy, and as
it should be. Scrofulous affections, ricketts,,
fever-sores, hip-joint disease or other grave
maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack Of proper attention
to such cases.

CANNED SOUPS.
Millions of Gallons Put Up Annually In
the United States.

Millions of Gallons Put Up Annually IN
the United States.
"There are only two or three houses in
the country that make speciality of can
ned soups,n said manufacturer of the
article to representative of the New
York Commercial. ''These soups are known
all over the world. They are prepared in
the most careful manner. The cans are
Theoretically sealed, and the soups are
warranted not to spoil IN the torrid zone
or the Arctic circle. All that is necessary
is to open the can and place the soup on
the fire. It does not need to be cooked,
merely heated through. 1t needs no
seasoning. The required condiments are
put in when the soup is made in the great
caldrons of the mandatory. Your soup
sufficiently heated, is removed from the
fire, placed in the tureen-and there you
are!'
"What quantity of these soups is sold
annually?" asked the reporter
what quantity? 1t is almost beyond
computation. Enough to float the Great
Eastern; to fill the Erie canal; to float
half a dozen small cities. Last year this
house alone made more than 100000 gal
Ions of it. The total soup production Of
the country-I mean canned soups, of
course-runs up into the tens Of millions.
What kinds of soups are made in this
formW he continued, repeating another
question by the reporter. every soup
known to modern or ancient culinary art.n
Then the manufacturer ratified off a lon e
list of soups so rapid y, and containing so
many names pronounceable only by canned
goods factory managers and Partisan
chefs, that but few of the more
familiar Of them could be remembered
These included tomato, mock turtle, OK
tail, julienne, pea, beef, chicken, macaroni,
vermicelli, consomme, okra or gumbo,
muligataWney, green turtle and terrapin.
''rhe soups are put in quart cans. They
cost the consumer about 80 cents quart
for the ordinary soups, or $3.50 dozen
cans, and from that to 20 cents quart, or
s. dozen, for the more delicate, such as
tefrapln, for instance. Are these soups
made of the best materials Indeed they
are. All the canned soups are made from
exactly what their names imply. Soup
labeled tomato is made from tomatoes,
not from red brick dust; beef soup from
genuine beef, terrapin from the real arti
Gle, and as much care and cleanliness and
regard for the proper mixture and cook
ing OF these soups are observed as in any
kitchen, private or public"

YOUNG MAN KILLED.

While Walking Across the Railing of
the Bradley street Bridge He Falls
Into the Cut Be1OSv-A Freight Train
Runs over Him.
James Eagan, a carpenter who boarded
with Mrs. Amelia Ortman at 766 State street
and aged about twenty, fell from the Brad
ley street bridge, which crosses the Consoli-
dated road, and was killed by a train run
ming over him early yesterday afternoon.
In the morning Eagan and a chum of his
Fred W. Smith, boarder at 104 Bradley
street, went out to spend Sunday roaming
about the streets. Between / and 2 o'clock
Smith got up on to the railing of the Consol-
dated railroad bridge at Bradley street, and
as it is of wood and several inches wide
commenced to walk across. He was quickly
followed by Eagan, who acted somewhat
hilarious. The consequence was fatal to
him, for he lost his balance. In falling he
screamed and caught hold of the railing.
His companion called out for him to hold
on.
Before assistance arrived he was obliged to
let go his hold, and he fell with a terrible
blow across the east-bound track below.
Smith yelled at the top of his voice, for a
freight train was just emerging from the Os-
born street bridge, outward bound. The fall
had rendered Eagan insensible.
The engineer, whose name was Fuller,
saw the accident and instantly whistled
down brakes. Several cars passed over
Eagan's body before the train was stopped.
Smith said last night that he did not know
how he got down into the cut, but he did
in some way, and he and James Tinnell took
the body from underneath the cars.
The police ambulance was sent for and the
body, which was badly mangled, was taken
to the morgue. Eagan had been in this city
about two years, hailing from Holyoke,

1t is gratifying to the citizens of New Ha-
ven to learn that almost all of the work of
the Consolidated road is centering in this
city. Each year has brought more of that
roads work here since the time that the New
York and New Haven road absorbed the
other roads, In Hartford now few if any
passenger cars are made, only freight ears.
A few engines are made there, but the great
or part of this work is being done here. The
road is now doing an enormous amount Of
work at its shops in this city; so much, in
fact, that new buildings are being erected.
This will lessen the cramp of room in the
wood and machine departments. One of the
new buildings will be used for wood work
and the other for a storage building and the
shop offices. The work has grown to such
proportions that there was not near room
enough in the other buildings for the ma
chine work and the offices of Superintendents
Henney and Denver. The superintendent
and the Office clerks will now be able, when
the new building is completed and they
move into it, to stretch themselves out at
full length aud take more than one breath
brick to erect the two buildings. Another
large building will also be erected. This will
be an iron one and will be used as shelter
for passenger cars. New Haven is very near
the center of the road, and that is one reason
why the greater share of the roads work is
done here. In time, no doubt, all of it will
be brought to this city.

Heretofore many of the passenger cars have
stood out in all kinds of weather. Plans for
the new shed were made last fall, but work
was not started till some time later. The
shed is of iron. The framework is all up.
A tower two or three stories high has been
built at Tin bridge at the junction of the
tracks which run from the Union depot and
the docks and the Air Line, Shore Line and
Hartford line tracks. It is perfect net
work of tracks at this point. The tower is
something like those at the Grand Central
depot in New York and is for the purpose
of turning switches by means of levers. For
instance, an Air Line train may be coming
The switchman is located in the second or
third story of this tower. He sees
the train, and knowing that it
is to GO out on the Air Line
track he puts his hand on
certain lever and pulls it toward him. The
train comes buzzing along, and is quickly
putting its way across the meadows on the
right track Instead of going out in rainy
or snowy weather, or in the bright sunlight,
in order to switch train onto the right
track, as has been customary each time
train comes along from any of these various
directions the switchman will in day or
two be under shelter when he does the
switching. He will be busy plying the levers
backward and forward. There will also be
telegraph apparatus and an operator in the
tower to receive by telegraph any necessary
Information.
